One day last week, at 6.05, Sam Collyer, a great "walkist" left Richmond on foot for Petersburg, on a wager of $200 that he could reach it in three-hours and fifteen minutes.

It was a very hard-shell' Baptist of Tennessee who suggested, when he heard of the reformation of an ungodly neighbor, that no ordinary haptism would do for that man; the 6nly sure way would be to tie a grindstone to his feet, and "anchor him over night i in the middle of the river." ??

As Ben himself alleges, Mrs. Pomeroy recently engaged him as her counsel in a suit for divorce from her husband, and the mere sound of Butler's name was enough to make "Brick" compromise the case by the payment of twenty thousand dollars down, and the promise of a yearly sum of six . hundred dollars.

President Grant has issued his proclamation for the enforcement of the Ku-Xliuc law, By the promulgation of this document, which the reader will find in another column, it will be seen that it is the intention of Grant tc make immediate use of the power conferred upon him by Congress. He say? that the law applies to all parts of the- United States, though he is careful to remind the public thai its provisions' were especially designed with reference "to certain Realities, lately the the atre of insurrection," and he exhojts the pee pie of those part? j>f the country icpjye orderly and quietly. * V - iL. ine law proviaes, nrst ior tWLpru^muia' tion to be made, and then .contemplates th( exercise of its powers through civil officers sustained by a military force if deemed neces sary by the civil authorities.

MANUFACTURING. j The importance which we attach to thii subject, induces us to call the attention of thi public to it again. The destitution of Yorl county, of all kinds of manufacturing esiab lishmentSr is notorious. Were we cut off frou the rest of the world, we would be placed ii a very trying situation. What may taki place in the course of human events, no om can certainly tell. It is always well, both fo individuals and communities, to hope for tb best, but to prepare for the vorat. The man ufacturing facilities of York county are deci dedly unsurpassed iq many respects. Yorl county is bounded on the east by Catawbi river, on the west by Broad river. Both o these streams are admirably adapted for man ufacturing purposes, and the county is check 1 ered by some noble creeks and rivulets. Oi the west there is Bullock's creek, Turke1 creek, Clark's Fork, King's creek, Buffalc and many other smaller streams, all of whicl are capable of driving large machinery. Ii the eastern portion of the county we migh mention Fishing creek, with its many tribu taries, and the two Allison creeks. Ou natural advantages are great and our want Let us see if it is probable that it would b profitable for capitalists to turn their attentioi to manufacturing. On all cotton goods man ufactured in the North, we pay two freightsone on the raw material and one on the man ufactured goods. It costs about trro-and-one half cents per pound to transport cotton t any of the northern manufacturing cities Before this cotton is manufactured into cloth it usually passes through the hands of severa persons, all of whom have to make a livinj by handling it. Now by manufacturing it a home, the two-and-a-half cents freight will b saved, and the freight charged on all the man of them was made in York county' or an; place else in the South.- There are a vas number of buckets used in York county* Ev ery body uses them. Now, what on earth i there to hinder soma enterprising mechanii from making a fortune in York viUage b; manufacturing blue buckete? Allhe.WQjjL^ have to do would be to put; up a shop ant make a better bucket than theYapkees. make which would require no great: effort, and $el. it at a reasonable price. York county can not furnish the same kind of timber that the fc jEgjfcfr V ajSwL " . northern blue bucket is made of, but it can furnish uetter timber in great abundance. It is worthy of note that South Carolina a and NorthCarolina furnish the timber for " the wooden ware-shops of the North. Some one willjKty, no doubt, that if he would put g up a bwket-factoiy it would take him but a p short ;time to supply the country- That would|fcnake no difference. If New York h can ;?8fBkl blue buckets here, we could surely h ? send'flfem to some other community. a Bofcane great advantage that would result ' from the establishing of manufactories in our i :jm2te|?#6uld be in retaining the fruit of our c J^Offi^home. At present it matters not ,h HH^uch we make, others get 'the greater AUK of it The northern capitalist gets rich, a I *y spinning our cotton, and all that we get li is a living. We bear the beat and burden of the day and the manufacturer gets the profits. .. Northern cities reap more advantage from o our cotton crops than we do ourselves. Our fc capital goes to build up the cities and toWns t of other sections, whilst our own lie in waste, <] Another advantage which would be enjoyed fc by engaging in manufacturing would be that it would give profitable and permanent em- t ployment to many persons that now are near- p 1) idle. The population of the country would y increase and the products would increase in "] proportion. More corn and grain of all kinds \ would be produced, because more would be required, and the amount of cotton would not j \ be decreased. Under our_preseUt system e make money and spend it abroad. This state t of things is obliged to continue so. long as we ] depend upon others to do our manufacturing e for us. Our farmers work bard and make a j 1 cotton crop, and then barter it off for shoes and stockings, pants and coats, hats and bon- j nets, and everything else we need, from a horn t , button to a wedding suit The only ad van- e tage that York county enjoyB in this respect, { 1 above what it enjoyed one hundred years ago fi is, that it can buy some things now that it ^ could not then. " j Many improvements have been made in ] machinery, but none of them hove been of any direct advantage to us. Many discove- } ries have been made, but neither by us nor { for us. Whenever we desire to see a machine j shop we have to leave home. Ought these ^ , things to be so ? Will they continue ? We } do not think bo. Some shrewd Yankee will j come down and make a fortune right under , , the nose of 'some of our native born citizens. f , That will be better than it is at present, but ^ it surely is not the best thing that could be | done.

If there an eleven men of one belief and ten of another it is obvious that the minority must converi one of the eleven if it would become a major ity. This, I take it, is the relative position oi parties at the North now. The Democrats are in the minority, and if they desire to*wir the next Presidential election they must con vert that extra Republican. There are thousands and ten of thousands-of Republicans, in all of the States, who are intensely disgusted with their own party ; but they have beaa-so long in the habit of distrusting the Democracy that they Hive not yet been able to mak* up their minds to come over.
